SS Rajamouli has thanked two superstars for decongesting the box office ahead of the theatrical release of Roudram Ranam Rudhiram on January 7 next year. The filmmaker thanked Mahesh Babu for moving out his movie Sarkaru Vaari Paata from the Sankranthi race. Rajamouli then thanked Pawan Kalyan for vacating the Sankranthi slot by postponing Bheemla Nayak to February 25.

"Mahesh Babu was the one who took the initative in decluttering the Pongal releases... Even though Sarkaru Vaari Paata was a perfect Pongal film, he moved it to summer and created a healthy atmosphere. Thanks to my Hero and also to the entire team at Mythri Movie Makers," the Baahubali maker tweeted.

He added, "The decision by Chinababu garu and Pawan Kalyan garu to defer the release date of Bheemla Nayak is well appreciated. Wishing the team all the very best."

Sarkaru Vaari Paata is scheduled to hit the screens on April 1.
